What should have been in the LZH file:
FAZE.PRG The screen saver program.
FAZE_CFG.PRG The config program.
READTHIS.1ST This file.
This program is Freeware. You may distribute it as you like.
What this is:
This is Faze, a really simple screen saver. Just put it in your AUTO folder
and whenever you don't move the mouse or press a key for two minutes, the
screen will switch to the "Faze". Anything else that's running will still keep
going; Faze uses only a little processor time. Please note, however, that Faze
uses 34K of RAM, because it uses its own screen. That's the price you pay for
a screen saver that does more than just black out the screen. You also need a
color monitor to use Faze. I haven't tested Faze with a TT, but it _should_
(no promises) work all right.
FAZE_CFG is quite simple to use. When you run it (from the Desktop, any
resolution) you'll get your choice of three buttons: "Config", "Look", and
"Exit". Select "Config" to change the configuration of the program (see
below), "Look" looks at the Faze screen until you press a key/move the mouse,
and "Exit" will exit without doing anything.
When you click on FAZE you will see an alert box appear, with three buttons:
"<", "2", and ">". "<" and ">" can be used to increase and decrease the time
Faze will wait before saving your screen, in minutes. The default here is two
minutes, but you can set this as high or low as you want. When you've selected
the time you want, click on the center button. That's all. Now just decide if
you want to save the configuration to FAZE.PRG; answer "Yes" or "No" to the
alert. Even if you don't save the configuration, if Faze is already loaded,
the change will go into effect right away. When saving the configuration, the
program will search the current directory and the AUTO folder of the current
drive to try and find FAZE.PRG.
That's basically all there is to it. This was just a simple program, and I
felt like doing it. Questions/comments can be directed to:

Say, have you heard about DMJ GIF? It's one of the most popular GIF converters
for the ST, and with good reason! DMJ GIF takes high quality GIF images and
converts them to high quality Spectrum images. Or DEGAS or Tiny pictures. In
full color, or grey scale, or monochrome. With the ST's 512-color palette or
the STe's 4096 color palette. It also includes programs to convert Spectrum
pictures to low or high resolution DEGAS pictures. And it even includes a
program to view STe Spectrum pictures on an ST, in 3375 colors! There's even
more, but I don't have space to list everything here. So where can you get
this marvel? Try GEnie. Or CompuServe. Or your local BBS. (You're looking
for DMJ_GIF3.LZH.) Can't find it on your local BBS? I've got plenty of copies
(grin). Registered versions (which run twice as fast as distributed versions!)
are available at the above address for only $15, and that includes a printed
manual. So what are *you* waiting for?
